Flashback Friday: The Blue Jays Thriller Video

When scouring the internet for Blue Jays content to feature for Flashback Fridays, occasionally I’ll come across videos like this that are too good not to share. For the final Flashback Friday of 2012, we take a look back at the 1984 Blue Jays in Spring Training courtesy of Peter Gross.

I really don’t know what to say, other than thank you to Mr. Gross for posting these old pieces on Youtube. And below are just a few of the frightening faces displayed by Cliff Johnson, Dennis Lamp, Jim Clancy, Buck Martinez and Garth Iorg.

Ian has been writing about the Toronto Blue Jays since 2007. He enjoyed the tail-end of the Roy Halladay era and vividly remembers the Alex Rodriguez "mine" incident. He'll also retell the story of Game 5 of the ALDS to his son for the next 20 years.

Thanks again Ian. These FFs serve a duel purpose give us olds the opportunity to look back and do a bit of a memory jog and give the newer fans a bit of history. That 1985 team is my favourite all time Blue Jays team.

I remember the Glee show in which they also performed a Thriller music video in an open field area. They were holding baseball plates and baseball bats the entire time and they made it a little spooky with their scary costumes.
